turns the wheels of the car because it can travel on the road, when the car to stop, how to do it? The driver is not like a cartoon like Stick ’em to the ground to stop the car forward, this time you have to rely on the car’s brakes to reduce the speed of the car and stopped.
“hidden in the wheel brake system, is to play the moving car to stop an important device”
By brakes and brake pads to create friction between the drum or disc, and to convert the kinetic energy when a vehicle is running in the process of friction into heat energy consumed. Common brake means has ldquo; drum brake rdquo; and ldquo; disc brake rdquo; two kinds of patterns, their basic features are as follows:
First, the drum brakes:
in the vehicle the hub is mounted inside the two semicircular brake pads, use ldquo; lever principle rdquo; brake pads push brake pads and the inner contact surface of the friction drum.
Second, the disk brake:
In the brake caliper brakes to control the two clamping the brake disc on the wheel. When the disk brake pad sandwiched between both of which cause friction.
“high-performance car brakes using a plurality of perforated vent disk, having a good cooling effect.”
“cool air through the wheel, for cooling the brakes.”
when the car on a low friction road surface slippery or icy, if excessively brake occurs, the wheel brake means is locked death lose grip, the ability to cause the vehicle to lose control direction. In order to make such a dangerous vehicle on the road surface can effectively control the forward direction, then developed ABSldquo; antilock brake system rdquo ;.
increasing performance of ABSldquo; rdquo ;, the anti-lock braking system on the occasion capability also allows TCS-Traction Control Systemldquo; Traction Control rdquo; and VSC-Vehicle Stability Controlldquo; vehicle stability control system rdquo; (equivalent to ESP) to control the tracking performance of the vehicle is traveling, and a control vehicle stability during cornering.
